It raced so fast the pulse exited a specially-prepared chamber before it even finished entering it.

The experiment is the first-ever evidence of faster-than-light motion.

The result appears to be at odds with one of the basic principles of
Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, that nothing can go faster than
the speed of light in a vacuum, about 186,000 miles per second.

However,
Lijun Wang, one of the scientists from the NEC Research Institute in
Princeton, N.J., says their findings are not at odds with Einstein.

She says their experiment only disproves the general misconception that nothing can move faster than the speed of light.

The scientific statement "nothing with mass
can travel faster than the speed of light" is an entirely different
belief, one that has yet to be proven wrong. The NEC experiment caused
a pulse of light, a group of waves with no mass, to go faster than
light.

For the experiment, the researchers manipulated a vapour of
laser-irradiated atoms that boost the speed of light waves causing a
pulse that shoots through the vapour about 300 times faster than it
would take the pulse to go the same distance in a vacuum.

Light
travels slower in any medium more dense than a vacuum, which has no
density at all. For example, light travelling through glass slows to
two-thirds its speed in a vacuum. If the glass is altered, the light
can be slowed even further.

The NEC team produced the opposite
effect. Inside a chamber, they changed the state of a vapour in a way
that light travelling through it would travel faster than normal.

When
the pulse of light travelled through the vapour, the pulse reconfigured
as some component waves stretched and others compressed. As the waves
approached the end of the chamber, they recombined, forming the
original pulse.

The key to the experiment was that the pulse
reformed before it could have gotten there by simply travelling through
empty space. This means that, when the waves of the light distorted,
the pulse traveled forward in time.

The NEC researchers published their results in this week's issue of the journal Nature.

Basically, light can go 186000 mps in a vacuum. All they did was make it travel through a medium, like how electricity can travel through wires. But they just made the atoms the energy passes through very unstable so that they would snap and pass the signal at the slightest increase of energy. Kinda like a really quick chain reaction that travels faster than light.

orr we could build sweet teleporter machines that don't actually teleport you they just scan your body or object, and then transmit all the data at those ultra highspeeeds and then reasemble you or the object on the otehr side out of a pool of materials...... essentially a clone† and kill machine. hahaha.†

No man it happened in 2004, but there was a cover up so they beamed some Moris code for us those of us living in the future (2007) so we could know what they did in the past, and now we all know the truth....

now couldn't we conceivably have faster than light communication? if you sent information in this way by manipulating the waves, we could talk with astronauts on mars, or scientists in a different galaxy

She's giving me a handjob and I notice her ring was chafing my dick! It hurt so bad but I couldn't ask her to stop, now my dick is all red sore and there is a large blister!

(butt sex), that's the whole point of a relationship.

ya but those waves would somehow have to be sent through a different medium than space. But the biggest problem with that is that light waves are a completely different thing than radio waves. wonder if one day we will get it to work though.

But really, youíre probably not going to get through this whole thing before you realize itís my signature but your going to keep reading anyway because there might be something funny at the end, sadly there isnít
